What’s changing—and why it matters

Go-live window

Pilot with ~100 largest taxpayers from Aug 2026, expanding in waves to reach full coverage by Aug 2028. Detailed specifications and Service Provider standards will be released ahead of the pilot to support timely readiness.

Model: Five-corner (Peppol-style)

taxpayers send/receive e-Invoices via OTA-accredited Service Providers (SPs); SPs validate and route invoices and submit data to OTA.

Scope (expected)

VAT-registered businesses, B2B first; later phases broaden coverage (incl. B2C, B2G).

From Announcement to Action, Oman’s vision takes shape!

If you think you still have time to prepare, it’s already too late. Oman’s e-Invoicing mandate demands significant groundwork — from upgrading ERP systems and aligning processes to ensuring seamless data integrations. Waiting until the last moment can expose your business to compliance penalties, audit scrutiny, and operational chaos. Early movers, on the other hand, enjoy smoother transitions, tested integrations, and a head start on regulatory readiness.

Proposed e-Invoicing model in Oman

Oman intends to use a 5-corner (Peppol-style) model with accredited Service Providers (SPs) as intermediaries — invoices are validated, routed, and submitted via these SPs to OTA.
